The industrial landscape and Motala stream<\/strong><br>Norrk\u00f6ping&#039;s major highlight. Old factory buildings, bridges and rushing water create an urban environment that is unlike much else in Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. The rock carvings at Himmelstalund<\/strong><br>In the middle of today&#039;s Norrk\u00f6ping there are traces of people who lived here thousands of years ago. Himmelstalund is one of Scandinavia&#039;s largest concentrated rock carving sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. The cactus plantation in Carl Johan&#039;s Park<\/strong><br>Around 25,000 cacti are planted each year in a new pattern. A bit strange, very Norrk\u00f6ping \u2013 and of course at its best when the planting is in place during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Take the tram through Norrk\u00f6ping<\/strong><br>The yellow trams are part of Norrk\u00f6ping&#039;s identity and also a fun way to see the city. We will take a proper tram tour ourselves on our next visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Kolm\u00e5rden Zoo<\/strong><br>One of Sweden&#039;s most famous family attractions is located just outside Norrk\u00f6ping and is worth a day of its own. Animals, a cable car and experiences await both young and old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-4-fascineras-av-industrilandskapet\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Upplev_Industrilandskapet_och_Motala_strom\"><\/span>1. Experience the Industrial Landscape and Motala Stream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The industrial landscape is for us the most special thing about Norrk\u00f6ping. In the middle of the city, the old factory buildings rise close to the Motala stream, with bridges, alleys and water rushing between the houses. It is powerful, beautiful and at the same time a bit raw.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3456882203\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-612014711 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-1957016821\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1513962608\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.sun-living.com\/vans\/v-serien\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"New Sunlife\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nya-Sunliv.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider612014711 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-612014711\" );$freedslider612014711.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider612014711.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider612014711.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider612014711.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider612014711.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"G\u00f6ra i Norrk\u00f6ping - Holmentornet\" class=\"wp-image-159518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Industri-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What fascinated us the most was actually the water. It is everywhere. It roars under the bridges, rushes past the old factories and makes the whole area feel alive. We have walked here on several visits and it is still the first place we would show someone who has never been to Norrk\u00f6ping before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the environment is also a large part of the city&#039;s history. The river&#039;s hydroelectric power has been used since the Middle Ages, and during the 19th century, Norrk\u00f6ping grew into one of Sweden&#039;s most important industrial cities. Most of the factory buildings that remain today were built between 1850 and 1920. When the textile industry later disappeared, the choice was made to preserve the area instead of demolishing it.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-973640373\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88753\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-2101119840 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2394234761\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elmia.se\/husvagn\/for-besokare\/biljetter\/?utm_source=freedomtravel&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=elmiahusvagn_kop_biljett_mars-sep\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-469169777\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale (588 x 158 px)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3011637754\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/store.alko-tech.com\/anhaengerkupplungen-fuer-reisemobile\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"AL-KO towbar 2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-dragkrok-2026-.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-dragkrok-2026-.png 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-dragkrok-2026--300x81.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-dragkrok-2026--224x60.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-dragkrok-2026--18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-dragkrok-2026--433x116.png 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider2101119840 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-2101119840\" );$freedslider2101119840.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

The iron was built on a small island in Motala str\u00f6m and the shape was simply adapted to the limited space. Today the Museum of Work is located here, but the house is almost an attraction in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arbetets-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arbetets-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arbetets-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arbetets-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arbetets-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arbetets-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arbetets.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum tells the story of work, everyday life and people&#039;s living conditions, often through temporary exhibitions. It also tells the story of textile worker Alva Karlsson, who worked in the building when it was still part of Norrk\u00f6ping&#039;s textile industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we visited the museum, our own reaction was a bit unexpected. We probably thought that the Museum of Work would primarily appeal to adult visitors interested in history, but several of the exhibitions felt just as much aimed at families with children and young people.<\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-560114650\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-2817577426 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-691931189\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1925690447\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.sun-living.com\/husbilar\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"sun living 70\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider2817577426 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-2817577426\" );$freedslider2817577426.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

Experience Visualization Center C<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visualization Center C is located in the middle of the Industrial Landscape and is a completely different world from the old factories outside. It is about visualization, research, space, technology and interactive experiences where you can try and discover for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-2-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we were here, Peter got stuck in front of something considerably less high-tech. On an old wooden TV, the same type that was found in Swedish living rooms in the 1960s, images from the first moon landing in 1969 were shown. Suddenly it was almost like a little time travel \u2013 the technology of the future on one side and the images that an entire world was glued to more than half a century ago on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the great experiences at the center is the dome, where films and visualizations are shown all around the audience. The exhibits change over time, so there may be new things to discover even if you&#039;ve been here before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Peter&#039;s experience:<\/strong>&nbsp;Sometimes it&#039;s not the biggest or most advanced attraction that you remember best. I walked into a visualization center filled with modern technology \u2013 and got stuck in front of an old TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Visualiseringscenter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-1-promenera-i-carl-johans-park\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Se_25_000_kaktusar_i_Carl_Johans_park\"><\/span>5. See 25,000 cacti in Carl Johans Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cacti may not be the first thing you associate with Norrk\u00f6ping, but every summer around 25,000 of them appear in a large planting in the middle of Carl Johans Park. Every year a new motif is created of cacti and other succulents \u2013 an unusual tradition that has existed since 1926.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We like these kinds of attractions. You don&#039;t need a ticket, no tour, and not much time. You walk through the park, suddenly discover a small sea of cacti, and wonder why anyone even had the idea in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carl Johans Park is centrally located, near the Travel Center, and is also home to flower gardens and the classic statue of Karl XIV Johan. But for us, it&#039;s the cacti that make the place worth a stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FREEDOM tips:<\/strong>&nbsp;Feel free to look closely \u2013 but don&#039;t&nbsp;<em>for<\/em>&nbsp;close. After all, 25,000 cacti have a pretty convincing way of saying \u201ddon\u2019t step on the plantation.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"G\u00f6ra i Norrk\u00f6ping - kaktusplanteringen\" class=\"wp-image-159486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Park-kaktus.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-9-upplev-kvarteret-knappingsborg\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Strosa_i_kvarteret_Knappingsborg\"><\/span>6. Stroll in the Kn\u00e4ppingsborg neighborhood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kn\u00e4ppingsborg is a small historic neighborhood in the middle of Norrk\u00f6ping, with older buildings, cobblestone courtyards and small alleys. Today, it is home to restaurants, caf\u00e9s and shops, and it is a nice contrast to the much more imposing industrial environments around Motala str\u00f6m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above all, we think that Kn\u00e4ppingsborg is a good place to take a break from the hustle and bustle for a while. Walk in from Drottninggatan, look around the buildings and take the opportunity to have a coffee, lunch or dinner. It is not a place where you need to plan several hours \u2013 rather a neighborhood you discover while moving through the city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Come here hungry. Old houses and cobblestones are nice, but strangely enough they become even nicer with something good on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"G\u00f6ra i Norrk\u00f6ping - Kn\u00e4ppingsborg\" class=\"wp-image-159490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Knappingsborg.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Ak_sparvagn_genom_Norrkoping\"><\/span>7. Take the tram through Norrk\u00f6ping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The yellow trams are part of Norrk\u00f6ping&#039;s cityscape and a much more fun way to get around town than just hopping on a regular bus. The trams have been running in Norrk\u00f6ping since the beginning of the 20th century and are today one of the city&#039;s most distinctive features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a visitor, the trip itself also becomes a bit of sightseeing. You get to see the city from a different perspective, pass through different neighborhoods and can combine the tour with several of the sights in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have seen and photographed the trams during our previous visits, but next time we plan to do it properly and jump aboard ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To be continued:<\/strong>&nbsp;After our next tram ride in Norrk\u00f6ping, we&#039;ll report back on which route we think is best \u2013 and whether Peter and Helena actually managed to get off at the same stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Promenera_vid_Abackarna\"><\/span>8. Stroll along \u00c5backarna<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c5backarna is a green walking trail along the Motala stream, just outside central Norrk\u00f6ping. Here the walkway follows the water through a much calmer environment than the Industrial Landscape, with greenery, birdlife and several places where you can stop along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk is about three kilometers long and along the route there are rhododendrons, older villa environments and additional rock carvings. It is therefore a good idea to combine \u00c5backarna with a visit to Himmelstalund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have been to the area before, but on our next visit we plan to walk a good bit of \u00c5backarna to determine if the walk really belongs among our best experiences in Norrk\u00f6ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To be continued:<\/strong>&nbsp;We&#039;ll come back after the walk with what we thought \u2013 and whether \u00c5backarna still remains number 8 in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-13-upptack-lofstad-slott\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Upptack_Lofstad_slott\"><\/span>9. Discover L\u00f6fstad Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little outside Norrk\u00f6ping lies L\u00f6fstad Castle, one of the excursion destinations that we think is worth leaving the city center for. The castle dates back to the 17th century and is surrounded by a large English park where you can walk even if you don&#039;t take a guided tour inside the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-2-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is special about L\u00f6fstad is that much of the environment has been preserved as it was when the last private owner, Emilie Piper, lived here. Furniture, art and personal items remain, making the castle feel more like a home you have stepped into than a collection of empty historical rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-4-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-4-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have visited L\u00f6fstad Castle ourselves and think that the combination of the castle, the history and the park makes it a nice excursion from Norrk\u00f6ping. Don&#039;t just expect to photograph the facade and move on - if you have the opportunity, it is above all the interior and the stories about the people who lived here that make the visit interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"G\u00f6ra i Norrk\u00f6ping - L\u00f6fstad slott\" class=\"wp-image-159510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lovstad-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Check the times for the guided tours before you go.

At Ark\u00f6sund, the mainland meets \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland&#039;s archipelago with cliffs, boating, swimming and islands that continue far out towards the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have a very special memory from here. Together with friends who live in Norrk\u00f6ping, we celebrated an entire midsummer in the Ark\u00f6sund archipelago. The weather was brilliant, the boats filled the harbours and it was bustling with people \u2013 but at the same time just as lovely and summery as the Swedish archipelago can be when it shows itself from its best side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ark\u00f6sund is suitable both for a day trip from Norrk\u00f6ping and as a starting point for getting further out among the islands. The area is most lively in the summer, but expect significantly more people during Midsummer and other popular weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our experience:<\/strong>&nbsp;If you want to have Ark\u00f6sund to yourself, you probably shouldn&#039;t choose Midsummer. However, if you want to experience boating, people and the Swedish archipelago at full speed - then we know it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-65.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-15-mot-vilda-djur-pa-kolmarden\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Besok_Kolmardens_djurpark\"><\/span>11. Visit Kolm\u00e5rden Zoo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kolm\u00e5rden Zoo is located outside Norrk\u00f6ping and is a destination that can easily fill a whole day \u2013 or more. It has animals from many parts of the world, large natural areas and the Safari Line where you travel above the animals in a cable car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter has visited Kolm\u00e5rden on several occasions with his sons. On one of the visits we went here with Peter&#039;s son Billie, did the safari and also chose to stay and spend the night at Kolm\u00e5rden. It made the visit much more relaxed than trying to do everything and then driving back the same evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kolm\u00e5rden is primarily a destination for those who want to do something together with children or grandchildren, but the area is so large that even adults can easily spend a whole day here. For us, it is also important to see Kolm\u00e5rden as&nbsp;<strong>an excursion from Norrk\u00f6ping<\/strong>, not like another attraction squeezed in between two museums in the city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Peter&#039;s experience:<\/strong>&nbsp;Don&#039;t try to do Kolm\u00e5rden in an afternoon. I&#039;ve been here several times and would rather give the park a whole day \u2013 and if you have the opportunity, an overnight stay can make the visit much more relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge-433x325.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiburi-och-unge.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kiburi the gorilla with cub, photo: Kolm\u00e5rden.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container faktaruta uagb-block-07ecab8a default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-norrkoping-pa-2-dagar-komplett-resplan-dag-for-dag\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Norrkoping_pa_2_dagar_%E2%80%93_komplett_resplan_dag_for_dag\"><\/span>Norrk\u00f6ping in 2 days - complete itinerary day by day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 id=\"h-dag-1-industrikultur-och-stadsliv\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1: The industrial landscape and central Norrk\u00f6ping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Morning:<\/strong>\u00a0Start in the Industrial Landscape and walk along Motala Stream.

For a first visit we would especially choose accommodation near the city center or the Industrial Landscape, so that Motala str\u00f6m, the museums, restaurants and city life are within walking distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The city center and the industrial landscape<\/strong>&nbsp;best suited if you want to be close to everything. Here you can start the day among the old factories and rapids and walk further towards shopping, restaurants and Kn\u00e4ppingsborg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kneipp and the area around \u00c5backarna<\/strong>&nbsp;better suited if you want to stay a little quieter and be closer to greenery and walks along Motala str\u00f6m. You will be further from some central attractions, but still relatively close to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kolm\u00e5rden<\/strong>&nbsp;is a completely different option. If the zoo is the main goal of the trip, it may be smarter to spend the night there than in Norrk\u00f6ping. We have done it ourselves and appreciated being able to give Kolm\u00e5rden plenty of time instead of ending the day with additional transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our advice:<\/strong>&nbsp;If you are primarily going to discover Norrk\u00f6ping, we would choose the city center. If you are primarily going to visit Kolm\u00e5rden \u2013 stay there and let it be a separate part of the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Norrk\u00f6ping with a campervan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norrk\u00f6ping is a good place to visit by motorhome, not least because many of the sights are relatively close together. We have previously come here by motorhome and parked during the day, but until now we have never stayed overnight with the motorhome in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We intend to change that. On our next visit, we will stay one night and test how Norrk\u00f6ping really works for those arriving by motorhome. Above all, we want to know how easy it is to find a good spot, how far it is to the city center, what services are available and \u2013 perhaps most importantly \u2013 how it actually feels to be there when the evening comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are camping options in the area around Himmelstalund, and there are also other options for motorhomes in and around Norrk\u00f6ping. However, we would like to wait until we have actually tried one ourselves to recommend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To be continued:<\/strong>&nbsp;In two weeks we will park the camper in Norrk\u00f6ping, stay overnight and report back with price, service, location, walking distance, the peace and quiet of the night \u2013 or lack of peace \u2013 and whether we would choose the same place again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-fler-cityguider-i-narheten\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fler_cityguider_i_narheten\"><\/span>More city guides nearby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you planning more trips nearby?

For us, the Industrial Landscape itself is bigger than the museums. What we were most drawn to were the old factory buildings, the bridges and above all the Motala stream that roars and rushes through the area. If you are short on time, we would rather walk around outdoors than try to run through several museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can you see the rock carvings in Himmelstalund without a guide?<\/strong><br>Yes, the rock carvings are outdoors and can be visited on your own. We have seen them before, but on our next visit we actually plan to return and see how easy they are to find and interpret for someone visiting for the first time. It is one thing to read that there are lots of carvings \u2013 it is quite another to stand on the rock and try to discover them for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is it worth taking the tram in Norrk\u00f6ping just for the experience?<\/strong><br>We&#039;re going to find out! We&#039;ve seen the yellow trams many times but never made the tram ride part of our visit to Norrk\u00f6ping. On our next visit, we&#039;ll hop on board, take a ride through the city and come back with which tour we think is best for a visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can you experience Norrk\u00f6ping with a camper van and stay overnight near the city center?<\/strong><br>We have previously visited Norrk\u00f6ping with a camper van but only parked for the day. On our next visit we will spend the night with the camper van for the first time and test one of the options for real. We will then complete the guide with where we parked, how much it cost, what services were available, how far it was to the city centre and \u2013 most importantly for us \u2013 whether we would actually want to park there again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is Ark\u00f6sund cozy during midsummer or is it too crowded?<\/strong><br>We celebrated a whole midsummer in the Ark\u00f6sund archipelago together with friends from Norrk\u00f6ping. It was packed with people and boats, but we had fantastic weather and at the same time thought it was very cozy. If you want peace and quiet and empty docks, we would choose a different weekend. If you want to experience the Swedish archipelago with boating and a midsummer atmosphere at full speed, however, it may be just right.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/restips\/europa\/norden\/sverige\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1-433x244.png 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagg-till-en-rubrik-3-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>All our top tips about Sweden!
